Default Leaking Coolant Hose

Hi,

I'd appreciate any help that people can give me...

Had a check light (Coolant Level Low) on last night. Jacked the car up this morning (after reading that my TOTAL car warranty doesn't cover hoses) and I think I found the offending hose...



Anyone had this before? Know how to replace? Part number!?!

Thanks in advance for any help...

Sean

Try Pelican parts for exploded parts diagrams, but if you had one coolant hose bust- I would replace them ALL.

+1 on Pelican and on replacing all of the hoses. Small investment to avoid a future issues.

Thanks for the advice above, I pulled the hose and replaced it.

Porsche dealer said it wasn't a common thing (he'd never seen one go) but the part has been superseeded so maybe there was enough for Porsche to redesign. It was easy enough to get on and off... Biggest pain was getting the air out the system afterwards.

To replace very hose on the coling system is no small task. There are quite a few hoses especially in the front of the car.
